Abstract"Garbhavakrantisutra, (the Sutra on entry into the womb) is a sutra on a description of conception, the [38] weeks of gestation, birth and the sufferings that afflict all beings after birth. Accounts of the rebirth process can be found in several Buddhist sutras, meditation manuals, and doctrinal texts from as early as the first several centuries of the Common Era....Garbhavakrantisutra does not mention the moment of death but otherwise contains probably the most complete and detailed description of rebirth."--Introduction. Translation from the Chinese and Tibetan translations of the Sanskrit work, no longer extant. The book provides considerable information comparing the various extant translations of the sutra.
